Talk:iMesh

Adware

I keep posting sources for the fact that iMesh contains adware, but it keeps being reverted by someone who is only focusing on sanitizing the article. Aside from the obvious fact that it's a sockpuppet for iMesh Inc, can someone back me up please? 69.177.201.95 (talk) 12:37, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Firstly I am not a sock puppet, nor do I have anything to do with iMesh Inc, I am just a user of the program who wants to improve this article. You have posted a source which states that iMesh 7 now contains Gator (Claria), yet installing it, running several scans on my own computer and searching on-line I can find no evidence besides the link you're posting - can it really be that hard to find another article on-line which states that iMesh 7 is infected with Claria?

Bearshare 6 and Shareaza 4 are all of the same client, yet why is Claria not found in these? As for the garbage you posted under the BearShare article that was factually incorrect, lets not go there just yet :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.27.238.160 (talk) 18:29, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

You do not seem to understand the concept of Wikipedia's policy on original research and how Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth. PLEASE, please read these rules! I have tons of other sources, even though the ones I have NOW are good enough. If you continue to break the rules you may be blocked, and you're clearly an intelligent person who can contribute elsewhere. 69.177.201.95 (talk) 02:37, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I was just at Mcafee SiteAdvisor and it also listed iMesh as containing malware http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/imesh.com/downloads/ http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/imesh.com/downloads/12100655/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrun (talk • contribs) 06:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I think this needs further investigation. I have just spent 4 hours removing iMesh and related Malware from a Vista laptop that never requested the software. This uninvited install hijacked IE and Firefox homepages. More sources needed to verify whether or not this is Adware or Malware.The words are not mine, I MEERly choose their order...

Many valid and reliable sources are out there that state iMesh is now clean:

• "Previous versions of iMesh's free software were bundled with adware; however the current version is not bundled with any adware."
• "iMesh also promised Tuesday that version 6 of its software would be free of adware and spyware."
• "The new iMesh service is also free of advertising, spyware and adware, and claims access to over 15 million songs through its offering and across the Gnutella file-sharing network."

The program changed some of my system files when I tried to remove it from my PC. It left what I presume to be spy-ware on my computer. (Israel Gonzalez 09:22, 23 August 2010 (UTC))

Executives say their software's latest updates are based on a new technology platform that will serve as the foundation of the new service, once it launches. They've also taken out all the bundled advertising software that has typically drawn complaints from users fearful of spyware." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.77.178.183 (talk) 22:16, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

I downloaded this program once, it was super hard to remove it on my Firefox browser. I've also heard lots of complaints like it too... I was wondering if it's really an adware. (my advice, don't download until it's fixed) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.54.158 (talk) 10:54, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Poor WOT Rating

Hi, myWOT gives this site a poor rating, with a lot of negative comments at https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/imesh.com Thanks, George Georgeh109 (My Talk Page) 22:15, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

iMesh and MP3Skull

I have been trying to find out how the pirate site MP3Skull works, and I noticed that they claim to be 'powered by iMesh'. So what is the connection between iMesh and MP3Skull? If they are providing services to an illegal site I do not see how they can claim to be 'completely legal'.109.158.134.151 (talk) 14:46, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
